Azure Active Directory Domain Services on premises Domain Join

  • 772

Please note this question is about Azure Active Directory Domain Services - https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/documentation/services/active-directory-ds/

Not the similarly named Azure Active Directory - https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/services/active-directory/

If I have an Azure site-to-site VPN to the vnet on which Azure Active Directory Domain Services is installed can I join an on premises server or client to the Azure Active Directory Domain Services domain.

    The simple answer is Yes.

    Few limitations comes to my mind:

    • It's preview, therefore, not covered by SLA
    • Only support Flat OUs
    • Only support simple GPOs
    • It's a stand-alone managed domain, not an extension (can't add as new DC in an existing domain/forest)
    • Does not support trust relationships
    • Since it's managed by Azure ADDS, you don't have Domain Admin or Enterprise Admin privileges
